April 9, 201115 yr I have looked every where in and around Pattaya for AAA Dragon Jasmine rice. I could buy it in the UK but cannot find the same quality and taste here in Thailand. It appears that they export the best and keep the rest for local consumption. My wife (Thai) and I have spent hours and a great deal of money at big & small rice suppliers trying to find the taste and quality we got in England. If anyone can help we would appreciate it.

April 9, 201115 yr The best rice we have found is the gold packed 'tung ka la kung hi' (sic) (former Communist area) sold in Foodland and Tops. Have not seen in Lotus/Carefore or Big C. Product code is 8854862-000010 and marked price 300 baht for 5kg bag.
April 9, 201115 yr My wife used to be centered on buying a Jasmine rice that we could only find at Tesco Express and the package displayed a single Lotus Flower graphic.<div>She has recently switched to a Jasmine rice sold only by distributors at AimStar which to me as a farang does exhibit a step up in flavor.</div>
